SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:28
¶ De la higuera aprended la semejanza: Cuando su rama ya se hace tierna, y brota hojas, conocis que el verano est cerca.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. Now learn a parable of the fig tree , etc..] Our Lord was now upon the Mount of Olives, in one part of which fig trees grew in great plenty, and one, or more, might be near, and in view; and it was the time of year, the passover being at hand, for its putting forth: when her branch is yet tender ; and soft and opening, through the sap now in motion: and putteth forth leaves ; from the branches: ye know, that summer is near ; from such an appearance on the fig tree; (see Gill on Matthew 24:32).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 28-37 - We have the application of this prophetic sermon. As to the destructio of Jerusalem, expect it to come very shortly. As to the end of the world, do not inquire when it will come, for of that day and that hou knoweth no man. Christ, as God, could not be ignorant of anything; but the Divine wisdom which dwelt in our Saviour, communicated itself to his human soul according to the Divine pleasure. As to both, our duty is to watch and pray. Our Lord Jesus, when he ascended on high, lef something for all his servants to do. We ought to be always upon ou watch, in expectation of his return. This applies to Christ's coming to us at our death, as well as to the general judgment. We know no whether our Master will come in the days of youth, or middle age, or old age; but, as soon as we are born, we begin to die, and therefore we must expect death. Our great care must be, that, whenever our Lor comes, he may not find us secure, indulging in ease and sloth, mindles of our work and duty. He says to all, Watch, that you may be found i peace, without spot, and blameless __________________________________________________________________
